Climb the staircase off Lochiel Avenue in Mount Martha and Mr Curtis opens onto a tropical mural, mismatched furniture and a balcony that drops the whole of Port Phillip Bay into view, with heaters keeping the outdoor space comfortable beyond summer. Owner Lyndal Barnes named the venue after her son when she opened seven years ago, carrying forward a family hospitality streak that traces back to a grandmother who ran thirteen eateries in her lifetime and a stint of Barnes' own at Brass Razu. That background flows through a kitchen shaped by Asian and Middle Eastern flavours, with dishes including lamb cigars and Moroccan lamb meatballs bringing colour and warmth to the menu. A $42 shared set menu runs three courses across lunch and dinner during set periods, with vegetarian and vegan options included within the offering, while Barnes continues to source produce herself from Dandenong Market each week. The venue caters functions in-house or off-site and has hosted birthdays, Christmas parties and weddings. Open seven days from midday until late, Mr Curtis brings together long lunches, dinner, drinks and gatherings in an elevated Mount Martha setting, with the wraparound balcony and broad Port Phillip Bay outlook forming a memorable part of the experience throughout the seasons.
